As I continue documenting and preserving Twin Peaks history, I’m sharing a GQ Style article about David Lynch’s Twin Peaks from their Fall | Winter 2014 issue. Author Tom Carson explores how David Lynch and Mark Frost’s early 1990s show influenced fashion in 2014.
In 2014, long-time Twin Peaks fans were treated to David Lynch’s The Missing Pieces, nearly 90 minutes of deleted or extended scenes from his 1992 theatrical release of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.
